Courses

This course is aimed at those sailors who have successfully completed level 1. Sailors will sail on our single handed or double handed boats which will be assigned by the coach according to their weight and level.  They will continue building on the foundations of sailing such as the points of sail, posture and balance.

This course follows on from the Sportmalta Introduction to Sailing/Level 1. Sailors will spend most of the sessions on single or double handed dinghies learning how to tack, gybe and follow a course around the marks.

We aim to build confidence and competence in young sailors. During this course, we build on foundations and develop new skills so that the sailors feel comfortable and in control in their boats in a variety of conditions. Sailors will have a solid grounding in the sport and the tools they need to pursue it further, in whatever capacity they choose.

This programme is aimed at sailors who wish to get the most advanced sailing experience from the club. It is aimed for sailors who have been sailing with the club for some time and wish to improve their skills. Sessions last 3 hours and mostly take place outside Marsamxett harbour. Sailors can use their own boat or use the club's toppers. 

The adult intermediate course acts as a fun, relaxed way for adults to improve their sailing. An opportunity to spend time on the water and to practice and gain confidence in the boat. This course is open to Vikings members only.

The Optimist Intermediate programme is open to kids who have completed the Sportmalta level two course. It offers young sailors an opportunity to have fun playing games on the water and to get better at sailing, and for both parents and kids to become involved with the community of the club.
